Document Sets

Interesting post from Stan Liu on Document Sets. Specifically, I find this idea very interesting, since it is very similar to a concept used in 2007 to have auto-inherited values for columns based on their parent folder.

If you have a few columns that are Managed Metadata type (this is a new column type that looks up taxonomy terms from the new Term Store), you can choose those to be Shared Columns so that all the documents within that Document Set will inherit those same attributes.
